Aluminum Wire Armoured Cable

Armoured cable introduction swa cable structure.

Aluminum wire armoured cable.

These include low voltage and medium voltage swa steel wire armour 3 core cable and all sizes of these widely used armoured power cables with current ratings up to 33kv for single core cables aluminium wire armour awa is used to prevent induced current in the armour. Item 48888 model 68584205. So when a current passes through the cable a magnetic field is generated the higher the voltage the larger the magnetic field. Bx s metal sheathing runs in a helix like or twisted manner around the wires.
